The RUCKUS® R850 is based on the latest Wi-Fi standard, Wi-Fi 6, which bridges the performance gap from ‘gigabit’ Wi-Fi to ‘multi-gigabit’ Wi-Fi in support of the insatiable demand for better and faster Wi-Fi.
The RUCKUS R850 is our highest capacity dual-band, dual-concurrent Wi-Fi 6access point (AP) that supports 12 spatial streams (8x8:8 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz). The R850, with OFDMA, TWT and MU-MIMO capabilities, efficiently manages up to 1,024 client connections with increased capacity, improved coverage and performance in ultra-high dense environments. Furthermore, a 5 Gbps multi-gigabit Ethernet portmitigates backhaulcapacity bottlenecks.
Additionally, the R850 is IoT- and LTE-ready, and supports wireless standards beyond Wi-Fi in combination with the RUCKUS IoT Suite and our CBRS/OpenG modules.
The R850 addresses the increasing client demands in transit hubs, auditoriums, stadiums, conference centers, and other highly trafficked indoor spaces. It is the perfect choice for data-intensive streaming multimedia applications like 4K video transmissions, while supporting latency sensitive voice and data applications with stringent quality-of-service requirements.
The R850 when paired with the RUCKUS Ultra-High-Density Technology Suite found only in the RUCKUS Wi-Fi portfolio, dramatically improves network performance through a combination of patented wireless innovations and learning algorithms that includes:
- Airtime Decongestion:Increases average network throughput in heavily congested environments
- Transient Client Management:Reduces interference traffic from unconnected Wi-Fi devices
- BeamFlex® Antennas:Extended coverage and optimized throughput with patented multi-directional antennas and radio patterns
Whether you’re deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R850 is also easy to manage through our collection of on-premises or cloud-based management options.
Benefits
Connect More Devices Simultaneously
Improve device performance, by enabling more simultaneous device connections with built-in 12 spatial streams (8x8:8 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz), MU-MIMO and OFDMA technology.
Ultra-High-Density Performance
Provides exceptional end-user experience within stadiums, large public venues, convention centers and school auditoriums with the RUCKUS® Ultra-High-Density Technology Suite.
Enhanced Security
Supports the latest Wi-Fi security standard,WPA3,for enhanced protection from man-in-the-middle attacks in the most secure way.
Multi-Gigabit Access Speeds
Optimized multi-gigabit Wi-Fi performance delivered using built-in 5GbE/2.5GbE Ethernet ports to connect to multi-gigabit switches.
Device Management Options
Manage the R850 with cloud, on premise physical/virtual appliances and control auto-provisioning for faster deployment and seamless firmware upgrades.
Better Mesh Networking
Minimize complexity by reducing expensive cabling with SmartMesh that dynamically creates self-forming, self-healing mesh networks.
Converged Access Point
Eliminate siloed wireless networks with a unified platform that augments Wi-Fi with onboard BLE & Zigbee radios with the option to integrate other wireless technologies via the USB port.
More Than Wi-Fi
Support services beyond Wi-Fi with RUCKUS IoT Suite, Cloudpath®security and onboarding software, SPoTWi-Fi locationing engine, and RUCKUS analytics.
Access Point Antenna Pattern
RUCKUS’ BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas allow the R850 AP to dynamically choose among a host of antenna patterns (over 4,000 possible combinations) in real-time to establish the best possible connection with every device. This leads to:
- Better Wi-Fi coverage
- Reduced RF interference
Traditional omni-directional antennas, found in generic access points, oversaturate the environment by needlessly radiating RF signals in all directions. In contrast, theRUCKUS BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna directs the radio signals per-device on a packet by-packet basis to optimize Wi-Fi coverage and capacity in real-time to support high device density environments. BeamFlex+ operates without the need for device feedback and hence can benefit even devices using legacy standards.
Note: The outer trace represents the composite RF footprint of all possible BeamFlex+ antenna patterns, while the inner trace represents one BeamFlex+ antenna pattern within the composite outer trace.
